Posted this on another Zimmerman thread. I think it applies here, too:

My take is the media mob WANTS rioting and general craziness if Zimmerman is found not guilty. That boosts ratings and sells papers. So even though anyone paying attention knows the prosecution has been an absolute disaster, they tell the low-information viewer that, "Boy, that prosecution is doing an INCREDIBLY GREAT job! Zimmerman's going to be convicted for sure!" Thus, if Zimmerman is acquitted, the low-information viewer goes apoplectic: "This was a slam-dunk for the prosecution! The fix is in! Where's my baseball bat???"

The James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies has sort of become a primer for today's "journalism." Why wait around for things to happen when you can make them happen yourself?

I agree with what you posted except this. The media's goals are ideological - iconoclastic, leftwing, anarchic tear it all down ideological.

If they cared about selling papers and making money there would be no ideological consistency to the crap they publish.

There will be a riot even if he is convicted. . .”they” (Holder’s people) will riot because they can, because they will be celebrating “getting even,” and if that means rioting and hurting innocent (mostly White) people, so much the better.

And the MSM will blame it all on “institutionalized racism” of the White population or some other such nonsense.
